UDP

UDP, or User Datagram Protocol, is a method used for sending data over the internet quickly and efficiently. Unlike other protocols that ensure data arrives correctly, UDP sends messages called datagrams without checking if they've been received. This makes UDP faster and suitable for real-time applications like video streaming or online gaming, where speed is more important than perfect accuracy. However, because it doesn't verify delivery, some data might be lost or arrive out of order. Essentially, UDP prioritizes speed and efficiency over guaranteed delivery, making it ideal for applications where quick updates are more critical than perfect data integrity.
